Open up a 700 X 700 blank canvas.
Flood fill white.

Copy and paste Cluster Frame as a new layer.

Position to the right of your canvas.
Use your Magic Wand and click inside of each frame.
Selections/Modify/expand by 6.
New Raster layer below the frame.
Copy and paste a paper of choice Into Selection.
Deselect.

Copy and paste your tube as a new layer.
Move it into position to the left of the frame.

Copy and paste Gem as a new layer.

Position the gem at the corner of the top frame.
Duplicate as many times as you need to place the gem at the corner of each of the frames.

Copy and paste Blossom as a new layer.
Mirror and position it below the merged frame layer.

Now we’re going to feather the bottom part of the blossom…
Using your Freehand Selection Tool go around the entire blossom - DON’T let the line touch any of the blossoms…only the bottom portion of the stem so you want to make sure you keep that dotted line away from the flowers.

OK
Selections/Invert
Tap the delete key until you have a nice feathered look to the bottom of the blossom branch.
Deselect.

This time arrange it in your layers pallet so that it’s at the very top - in front of your tube.
